Whether Brittany Mikesic received a M.S. degree from UTEP with a 4.0
gpa?  Whether her master's thesis was presented at the International
Symposium for Biomechanics in Sports, held June 2001, San Francisco? 
She has a M.S. behind her name on her resume and her Columbia Southern
bio says that she has an M.S. but the Records Dept at UTEP shows her with only
24 hours completed and not a 4.0.  The only report I could find of her
"thesis" lists her as having a B.S.

Mary Beth, 

Since the site lists the MS from University of Texas-El Paso, you
might want to check there. If you are an employer (or a potential
one), ask for transcripts.

i found confirmation of the symposium you were questioning.  you can
verify that the thesis was presented by examining the following
website:

also, here is a picture of the said individual (far left) attending
her graduation ceremony from the graduate program in kinesiology at
the university of texas at el paso:

hope this helps!
